A disgruntled Rodent!

Look at Chili posing with the enemy! Silly rodent!
Okay... so here is how it all went down! Bart - if you are reading this.. let me just say that unfortunately your beloved Chinchilla (named Chili) lives on and is still with us! As most of you know, I am a total gimp and can't get around without my crutches. Parker, our lovely little boy, knows that and takes advantage of that at every chance. So, when I painstakingly go downstairs, he turns around and heads back up. Little monster!
So, this morning, I was on the phone and Parker snuck away. By the time I got around to limping back upstairs I smelled some serious cleaning products and followed the smell into Caitlin and Maddie's room. They have a pet chinchilla (Don't ask - that is for another blog) but the little guy was covered in Zout stain remover. He was actually shivering. (I don't have very much compassion for rodents, but for about five seconds I did feel bad for the little guy) Also, this is not the first time this has happened to him. He was covered once before in Spray and Wash by my son.
Needless to say... we have one very DISGRUNTLED Chinchilla on our hands! But, hey.. he smells clean!

OK, that's kind of funny. And even funnier that he knows you can't cahse him up the stairs. I know, It's always funny when it's not your own, blah, blah, blah

Gross, Heather. I can't support the having-a-rodent in the house thing. Go Parker Go. You get him with all the cleaning agent you can find!
